Jimmy Buffett Album

Nothin' like this way out in West Texas
Galveston Bay is a whole other world
My wife's in our room gettin' over her sunburn
How would Louis L'Amour get me next to that girl

She tells me her tan is the same all over
She asks me to dance and says "keep your boots on"
She never met a number one cowboy
We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn

Chorus:
Who's the blonde stranger, who entered my life
Makin' me over, in the moonlight
This side of Texas, is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger, who lives by the sea

Stayed up all night and for me that's the first time
Sneak in the room just as cool as I can
Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty
Except for a note left from some guy named Dan

My head got all light and the room started spinning
I stepped outside just to get some fresh air
Out on a wave was my own darlin' Lola
And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair

Chorus:
Who's the blonde stranger, out there with my wife
What were they doin', in the moonlight
This side of Texas, is all new to me
Who are these strangers, who live by the sea

Back on the ranch and everything's normal
Beach blanket bingo comes on the TV
We talk in our sleep and then the next morning
I ask her who's Dan and she says who's Marie?

Chorus:
Who's the blonde stranger, who entered my life
Makin' me over, in the moonlight
This side of Texas, is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger, lives by the sea

Chorus:
Who's the blonde stranger, who entered my life
Makin' me over, in the moonlight
This side of Texas, is all new to me
Who are these strangers, who live by the sea

Can't believe I'm still here
With the morning so near
And last night so unclear

I see a tremblin' hand
And a gold wedding band
Wonder where do I stand

When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me
Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong
Or will you just hang up the phone

All my crazy old lies
And my worn out disguise
Turns to tears in your eyes

What a fool I have been
There's no way I can win
Unless you take me back in

When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me
Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong
Or will you just hang up the phone

(instrumental)

When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me
Will you shelter my heart till I'm strong
Or will you just hang up the phone

Coda:
When the wild life betrays me

The five o'clock Friday blows
I got to let it go
Put on my weekend clothes
Turn on the rock 'n' roll

Throw all our cares away
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day

Classy little white and red
Turns everybody's head
My baby meets me at the five and dime
She's always right on time

We roll all our cares away
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day

We'll cruise across the county line
A little dance and dine
A drive in picture show
When the midnight's comin' down we're headin' back to town
She lets her lovin' show
Whoa oh oh oh whoa

Feels like we're the only ones to see the mornin' sun
Sleepin' through the afternoon and risin' with the moon
Oh don't the stars look bright
It's a ragtop night
It's a ragtop night
We'll throw all our cares away
I live for that ragtop day

It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day

-- Spoken:
"Ooh, come on over here baby get in this car"
"We gonna cruise on down to the GULF"
"And listen to some WESTERN music"
"Get ourselves a cool one at the Florabama, ya"
"All right come on in here, yeah!"
"You can move over little closer"
"Ooh, be careful of that stick shift!"
"Ya, let's rockit ragtime"
"Was that your husband that just passed us in that station wagon fulla kids?"

"Let's get outta here, Ow!"

I talk to her pictures
And stare at the walls
And my friends come and offer their help
To my back they're afraid that I'm losing it all
To my face they say I'm not myself
And they name all the doctors they think I should see
But they don't understand it's not me

Chorus:
She's goin' out of my mind
And I'm showin' all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now she's goin' out of my mind

The place that I kept her
Has suited her well
Though it's not where she wanted to be
And from up on that pedestal I couldn't tell
That she'd rather be down here with me
Now she just tells me how we can't relate
But she leaves out the part I can't take

Chorus:
She's goin' out of my mind
And I'm showin' all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now she's goin' out of my mind

There's a tear in her eyes as they drive me away
And I turn to the doctors and say

Chorus:
She's goin' out of my mind
And I'm showin' all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now she's goin' out of my mind

Yeah she's goin' out of my mind

By: Rhonda Coullet

The moon's smilin' over my shoulder
I know these same stars will shine when I'm older
So I'm keepin' heaven on my mind
'Cause a good love is so hard to find

Chorus:
And it's bigger than the both of us
Deeper than the sea
Tossin' on the water ridin' destiny
Bigger than the both of us
Farther than the eye can see
We're dancin', our souls are dancin'
Infinity

You know there's a million ways to fail
But I know this isn't just a fairy tale
It's a one in a million paradise
I know love is the light in your eyes

Chorus:
And it's bigger than the both of us
Deeper than the sea
Tossin' on the water ridin' destiny
Bigger than the both of us
Farther than the eye can see
We're dancin', our souls are dancin'
Infinity

Chorus:
And it's bigger than the both of us
Deeper than the sea
Tossin' on the water ridin' destiny
Bigger than the both of us
Farther than the eye can see
We're dancin', our souls are dancin'
Infinity

Bigger than the both of us
Our souls are dancin'
Bigger than the both of us
Our souls are dancin'

I've got a question for you
Please grant me an interview
Don't want to read it in a magazine
Don't want to see it on the silver screen
Don't let the craziness tear us apart

I'm down on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart

This comes from deep in my soul
Your sweet love has taken control
I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so
Take you to the jump up if you want to go
It's never-y too late to make a brand new start

I'm down here on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart

Whoa how I will sing
If you give me everything
I live for the day
When there's nothing in our way

I will be waiting tonight
You'll find my boat by the light
I'm gonna show you what my love can do
Out on the ocean all alone with you
We'll find a desert island on an ancient chart

Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart

Take me from the knees of my heart
Whoa oh oh take me from the knees of my heart
Please take me from the knees of my heart
Whoa oh oh take me from the knees of my heart
Uh buh puh buh puh buh puh
Please from the knees of my heart
Whoa oh oh

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings

Full earth tonight
And Mars is big and bright
All our friends are flying in
It's such a lovely sight
Gravity never could hold me
That is what you always told me
You know me

Chorus:
So come to the moon
I hope to see you soon
Half a million miles isn't far to go
You know I need you so
I hope you still need me
So come to the Moon
The starship's leaving soon
Until then I'm wishing on every star
That you will be here soon
Come to the Moon

Those crazy martian days
When we went separate ways
Through time and space we'd find a place
To bring our lives in phase
We're lost amid the galaxies revolving
And we're all just a part of what's evolving
Evolving

Chorus:
So come to the Moon
I hope to see you soon
Half a million miles isn't far to go
You know I need you so
I hope you still need me
So come to the Moon
The starship's leaving soon
Until then I'm wishing on every star
Wondering where you are
Come to the Moon

Chorus:
So come to the Moon
I hope to see you soon
Half a million miles isn't far to go
You know I need you so
I hope you still need me
So come to the Moon
The starship's leaving soon
Until then I'm wishing on every star
That you will be here soon
Come to the Moon
Come to the Moon
Come to the Moon

Left one in the drizzlin' rain
Found one on the mornin' plane
Layin' out his well-known line
Bought her some gin - that did her in
Now their makin' love behind the occupied sing

Chorus:
Just a livin' example of love in decline
Lookin' so hard and so little time
Goin' ninety to nothin' and flyin' stone blind
Just a livin' example of love in decline

Miyama hotel disco bar
He asks if she's a movie star
Her eyes light up they're going far
No time for a room - it happened too soon
Now they're makin' love in her rent-a-car

Chorus:
That's just another example of love in decline
Lookin' so hard and so little time
Goin' ninety to nothin' and flyin' stone blind
Just a livin' example of love in decline

Red-eyed on a midnight flight
He's a little tired but she looks just right
He asks for dark so she hits the light
Engines whine - seats recline
They're makin' love till the mornin' light

Chorus:
Just a shinin' example of love in decline
Lookin' so hard and so little time
Goin' ninety to nothin' and flyin' stone blind
Just a livin' example of love in decline

Just a livin' example of love in decline
Just a livin' example of love in decline

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings

I'm not sayin' I'm scared'a you
But your kinda love is somethin' new
When I hold you we're swayin' in the wind
Of all the bridges I've ever crossed
High and lonesome and wild and lost
I feel this time I'll take it to the end
We don't care what the people may say
If there's a price it's the price we'll pay

Chorus:
And we'll burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down

We both done our share of runnin' around
So we know enough to know the kind of love we've found
It's the real thing and we've got to see it through
I'm a singer and a sailor on a midnight sea
(Oh captain come and take me on your fantasy)
If we're crazy that ain't nothin' new
'Cause we don't care what the people may say
If there's a price it's the price we'll pay

Chorus:
And we'll burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down

Who knows how it started
Who knows it end
The point of no return is waiting
Just around the bend

Chorus:
And we'll burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down

Chorus:
Yes we'll burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down

[The Dancing Life]

They can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ships heading for the rocks
See the time melting off of the clocks
There's a light shatters all the locks
And saves me
It saves me

That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want La Vie Dansante

Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders

Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop is a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feelings

That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want La Vie Dansante

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes us just where we want
That's all we want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow the dancing life
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want La Vie Dansante

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes us just where we want
That's all we want La Vie Dansante

La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
That's all we want...
